Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking about same-sex activity is important because it is a risk factor for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and can also help the nurse provide appropriate information and resources. The other options may also be important but asking about sexual frequency and enjoyment are subjective and may not provide as much important information. Asking about masturbation is also important but may be addressed later in the assessment.
